at least three people have been killed in southern indiana. the storms are massive, as we saw in downtown nashville. this is 11 minutes of video that we compressed to show you how the storm hit music city. the emotions of this evening were caught in this picture of one survivor in alabama after he found the one possession that he may have wanted to save the most. there were also reports of tornadoes across northern alabama. one ripped part of the roof off a maximum security prison. mark strassmann is in the town of new market tonight. mark? >> reporter: by mid-morning, scott, this house had been flattened. the good news is no one was home. and you see storm ruin just like this all over this neighborhood. now consider something else: this has been a long, frightening day of violent weather, and it's not over. suddenly around 4:00 p.m. a black cloud wall menaced madison county. for people like jack kilgore and leslie poesy, this was their second scare in seven hours. look behind you. what do you think about that? >> not looking good. >> reporter

. >> pelley: growing up in indiana roberts was the smartest did in class. he has a history degree from harvard with top honors and a law degree from harvard with high honors. roberts has a conservative view of the role of a judge. he believes in leaving legislating to the congress and he said this in his confirmation hearing: >> judges are like umpires. umpires don't make the rules, they apply them. >> pelley: attorney david bois has argued before the chief. when you look at the tenure of chief justice roberts, what has this court been known for? >> i think it's been known for conservatism-- not entirely-- but i think in general it's moved the law in a conservative direction, but i think it's largely done that incrementally. >> pelley: "cautious" is a word you hear often when people describe roberts. cautious and a stickler for rules. >> well, the chief justice is not only a brilliant judge, but he's a regular person. he's got a family, he's the kind of person who would talk sports with you and he enjoys a round of golf. >> pelley: you play golf with him? >
